Hot tub jets feel weaker than they used to.

Not sure if I’m imagining it but my hot tub jets don’t feel as strong as they did when we first got it. Pump sounds normal and everything turns on fine but the pressure just feels softer. We use it a few times a week. Is this just wear over time or something I should be checking?

Could be partially clogged jet inserts. A few of mine had buildup inside and it reduced the pressure a lot. I removed and rinsed them out and it made a noticeable difference.

Check the air control valves. Sometimes they get bumped or partially closed and that changes how strong the jets feel. I thought my pump was failing once and it was just the air dial.

If you have diverter valves make sure they’re positioned correctly. On my spa, if it’s splitting flow between seats no single seat feels very strong. When I rotate it fully to one side the pressure is much better.
 
I didn’t even think about the air controls or diverter valve. I’ll check those first before assuming something mechanical is wrong. Thanks for the ideas.
